Nador is a Mediterranean city on the edge of Mar Chica, the largest lagoon in North Africa, and it sees a fraction of the foreign visitors that reach Marrakech or Fes. Most of its traffic is Moroccan families returning from Europe, ferry passengers from Almeria and Motril, and people crossing to and from the Spanish enclave of Melilla a few miles up the coast.
For American travelers it usually appears as a link rather than a destination: a way into Morocco from Spain that avoids Tangier, a stop on a Mediterranean coastal route, or the northern end of a drive down to Fes. The city itself has a long corniche and good fish, but the reasons to be here are mostly practical.
Those practical reasons are exactly where a driver helps. The airport is nine miles out, the ferry port at Beni Ansar is separate again, the Melilla border has unpredictable queues, and the beaches and Al Hoceima are real drives along the coast. Every booking is private and the rate is fixed in advance.
